TABLE 41.-Number and yearly salaries of officers, professors, and instructors in certain universities and colleges having less than $1,000,000 of endowment fund (not Stateaided)-Continued. CHAPTER VI. STATE NORMAL SCHOOLS. Many of the State normal schools are supported only in part by public funds, and their salary lists are not open to the public. Some of the presidents of the purely public institutions requested that the data they supplied be considered confidential. It was decided, therefore, to treat all normal-school salaries in the same way and to conceal the identity of all of them. Eighty-five schools are represented-slightly more than half the number in the United States. No effort was made to secure a greater number of reports, for the reason that those received were thoroughly representative. The treatment of the data was substantially similar to that described for universities and colleges. In general, the terms used in the several reports are used in the tables, even when different designations are apparently applied to substantially similar subjects. For example, "education" and "pedagogy" are often used interchangeably, but in a few instances both terms appear in the faculty lists of the same institution. It was assumed, therefore, that the probability of a shade of difference in actual practice justifies separate entries in the table, and in each case the term used in the report made to us was adopted for the table. The distinction between practice schools and model schools is not always clearly drawn, and perhaps some of the entries under each of those heads might as well have been placed under the other. The evident lack of relation between title and salary and the absence of standardization make it difficult to reach satisfactory conclusions in studying the figures reported in this connection. In fact this chapter presented more perplexities to the compilers than any other, and it is by no means certain that the treatment of all the details is without fault. 416 |
